Definition was changed under Biden, so in other words it has become a political term.

Are we in a session of recession now?

Is this supposed to be like ripping the band-aid off? Hard times before the good.

Business does not want to invest and people can't afford his import taxes.

One hundred days to a recession. When do experts say this recession started?

A recession is a period of declining economic activity, commonly defined by at least two consecutive quarters of economic contraction. Although difficult to experience, recessions are a normal part of the economic cycle.


According to the definition above, the U.S. isn’t currently in a recession. Though the economy contracted in the first quarter of 2025, the Bureau of Economic Analysis estimated the U.S. economy grew by 2.4% in the final quarter of 2024.

What recession?

Volcanic white gold: A lithium deposit valued at $1.5 trillion has been discovered in the U.S.


https://www.earth.com/news/volcanic-...ed-in-the-u-s/


Some scientists emphasize that claystone deposits differ from salt brine operations found in South America.

Processing claystone may require more complex techniques, including acid leaching, which can raise questions about waste disposal and water safety.


The trade-off is that most lithium deposits, wherever they are, carry certain environmental implications. A few watchers say this moment holds a chance to reevaluate how to conduct resource extraction.

He's not negotiating. He's getting the terms of his presidency if he wants credit for oil prices dwindling down until they go back up.
